woodpeckers new knuckle clamp with its innovative seven circular pivot points pivoting flat clamping pads and lift spring feature bring this hold down clamp to a whole new level it will help woodworkers save time while improving safety and precision the knuckle clamp with its multi lock endpoints enables you to deal with different workpiece thicknesses and shapes this capability is enhanced by a pair of pivoting flat feet with molded rubber pads which applies targeted pressure to lock down the workpiece without marring its surface molded from reinforced polycarbonate this clamp is virtually indestructible the adjustable spring lifts feature starts with locking the clamps bolt to your track then adjusting the spring nut to bring your clamping pan to about 1/8 of an inch from the top of your board tighten the locking knob to lock it in place loosen the locking knob and the spring lifts the clapping pad off the board allowing for movement and the clamp stays in place now that's cool and with the knuckle plant bench kit you get everything you need to make an easy to install easy to use face vise for boards on edge and end grain work which is easy to remove when the job is done like all woodpecker brand woodworking tools the knuckle clamp is manufactured in our shop just outside of Cleveland Ohio in the USA introducing poly gauge SS a precision machined polygon with five angles commonly used by woodworkers and it's magnetic dual purpose knob and phase connects the tool to steel machine tops allowing for hands-free adjustments now you can set table saw blade angles perfectly the first time place the poly gauge SS horizontally to set miter fences easily or use with a miter saw to accurately set fence to blade angles quickly set up miter cuts with confidence and tackle complex projects previously avoided with poly gauge SS we set out to make a more modern and functional polygons that's made right here in our shop originally I designed the polygons to be made out of aluminum but once I machined it had the part of my hand I decided to didn't have the modern feel that we're looking for so from there we decided to go towards the stainless steel because it gave a modern look and a more accurate edge the high quality stainless steel gets cut out with our laser cutter from there it gets leveled and sandblasted which gives it a nice matte finish and we precision mill our edges to keep our angles within eight thousandths of a degree which is ten times more accurate than our other competitors after inspection the stainless steel gets passivated and moves on to be laser anneal giving the tool its high contrast easily readable markings and we designed the perfect handle by really printing multiple prototypes to make sure it's securely fit the tool instead of the typical screw off handle we made ours with two rare earth magnets which allows for quick and easy attachment I think we built a really cool modern and highly functional poly huge and I'm proud that it's made right here in our shop poly gauge SS precision made in the USA simplify your dado cuts with the woodpecker's dado setup fixture or DSF and when paired with the woodpeckers gap gauge tedious dado setups are a thing of the past the traditional method for setting up dado cuts can be a repetitive frustrating pursuit and without a precise way to measure dado width or securely arrange the dado stack you're forced to reach inside your saw again and again to get the right cut by mimicking the mounting of the dado set on your table saw the DSF allows for an easy aergon onic setup just take a physical reading of the material with the gap gauge then match with the DSF to set the perfect data width eliminating the need for multiple test cuts saving time and stress the DSF incorporates a 5/8 inch brass Arbor and threaded knob that fully compresses the dado stack just as your saws Arbor nut would and can accommodate dedos up to fifteen sixteenths of an inch thick quickly secure the DSF with a bench vise by drilling into a work surface and inserting the included three eighths inch pins or mount to a Festool MFT with its perfectly matched bushings a clever addition to your shop the gap gauge makes gauging the thickness of material or the dimensions of a joint a one-step operation and the mini gap gauge is perfect for mortise and tenon joinery work more efficiently and make dado setups quick and easy with the woodpecker's dado setup fixture and gap gauge a combination built for precision in the USA this is the dust right lathe dust collection system from Rockler it's got a distinctive scoop shaped dust port that cups spindle turnings to capture dust and fine shavings as they're cut from the workpiece before they get into the air no other dust hood gets us close and the dust right system is fully adjustable to provide access for sanding without sacrificing performance if you turn small projects you owe it to yourself to check
